I am a couple of days late, but a huge congrats to our own WashU Medicine Genetics Susan Dutcher on her election to the National Academy of Sciences! nasonline.org/news/2025-nas-…

Wait, you’re still doing minipreps? 💀 Use ZeroPrep to go straight from colony to whole plasmid sequence, overnight. Now supporting low-copy plasmids — so you can save time, reduce labor, and tackle constructs. Start sequencing our improved service now: plasmidsaurus.com/products/zerop…

Looking for a way to profile tumors? 🔬 Join “The Power of Positive” to learn how TAPS (TET-assisted Pyridine Borane Sequencing) beats bisulfite for methylation analysis—preserving DNA and working with just 1 ng sample. Perfect for FFPE, cfDNA, and rapid results in 1 day.

If anyone who had a grant terminated (at Harvard or elsewhere) wants to partner with my scicomm channel (LetTheDataSpeak across platforms), I want to work w you. I’ll ft. an elevator pitch of your exciting science, then end w “this project was terminated” & a call to action.

I discuss the urgent crisis from the loss of federal support of science in the US and recent clinical gene editing breakthroughs with Walter Isaacson & Christiane Amanpour on Amanpour and Company, airing on PBS tonight at 11 pm ET, and on CNN International earlier today. Pls share! youtube.com/watch?v=8YhJM6…

Are you preparing to go on the biomedical faculty job market? Do you have a track record of excellence in research, leadership, mentorship, & community engagement? Apply to the 2025 Next Generation Faculty Symposium: berkeleystanfordnextgensymposium.com! The deadline is May 30. Please repost!

The war on science in the US is already affecting private sector research like AlphaFold. Bears repeating but the private sector builds on top of things created by academic research for the public good. This hurts everyone.

Out now! Our very first paper from the lab, an impressive feat by Toby Andrews where we show how a developing heart grows and scales up its morphological complexity to keep beating...an excellent summary below ⬇️ cell.com/developmenta...

Very happy to be part of this incredible landmark study. Thanks to this work and the VNC’s dissectible organization, we will soon have an unmatched understanding of how the transcriptome drives circuitry assembly in a complex nervous system.

Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new @nature paper, Miranda Hunter found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: go.nature.com/47iwDm2
